Workshops

PPAQ Approved Workshops

With so many workshops on the market these days, it’s hard to know where to start. We’ve done some of the leg work for you – the Workshop Providers we have listed here are Certified Professionals and you can rest assured that not only will you be in good hands, but you’ll also be provided with excellent value.

Are you looking for photography workshops that extend your skills beyond learning about the camera controls? Workshops at Elite Studio provide learning experiences that make expanding your photography exciting and fun. For your photography workshop, you will be part of a small group of photographers learning with a mixture of theory and practical photography. The practical exercises will reinforce your new skills and let you take some great photos. Most of all, you will learn why you are doing things so you know when to use different techniques.

The workshops are taught by Andrew Merefield, a graduate of the Qld College of Art and a certified professional photographer with over 30 years of experience. He has experience in many areas of photography from wedding and portrait photography to high end print production and retouching. Andrew’s extensive photographic knowledge has been used to design photography workshops that will expand and improve your photography.

We offer a series or ready-to-go Experiences, but also can adapt to suit your needs. Our full day Experiences are in a luxury vehicle (BMW X5). With a maximum of three people, your host is both your personalised guide and a Certified Professional Photographer. Combine your enjoyment of our beautiful part of the world, with practical advice on how to get the most from your own camera. Learn the skills needed to get out of auto, and start using aperture, shutter and ISO more effectively while experiencing rolling hills, mountains, rainforests, deserts, wildlife, life in the bush, cityscapes, night shoots, waterfalls and much more.

​Our Experiences can be adapted to suit your particular interests or available time, but our current ‘ready to go’ Experiences are:

​Traveller coffees, morning tea and lunch included on all full day Experiences. ​Door to door pick up and drop off (within 10km of Brisbane CBD) on all full day Experiences. All experiences are available in this format, or can be formatted to accommodate your needs and/or available time.
